My name is Robert A. Johnson. Welcome to my web site.
My mission is to help people like yourself achieve financial independence by managing and protecting personal wealth in an uncertain economy. I provide financial planning, risk management, wealth management, as well as employee benefits for successful families and businesses who are concerned about creating generational wealth. To expand upon my services, I've merged my financial services practice with my son Robert A. Johnson III, CFP, ChFC, CLU, CDFA, MBA, and we market our services under the OPTIMAL PLANNING PARTNERS INC brand. This joint venture will provide more synergy for us, provide a seamless succession strategy and more importantly allow us to provide better services for you.
